I enjoy some fun mind games, be it a game of chess. I may not be the best player around, (so if you want an easy win, you know whom to call), I am still fascinated by the games and its pieces. On a stroll at Bandra’s Carter Road, you can see tables close to…

Tell Me What You Desire!
Last year, I had the luck to enjoy Ganesh Charthuthi at Pune. Around the famed Dagadu Shet pandal you’d find several other interesting Ganesh idols, and this fixture was a part of one of them. (May be my fellow blogger ThoughtsUnrestricted can remind me which one). One fascinating part of this particular pandal is the…
Up In The Air!
I’ve always loved helium balloons in large bunches. Long before I managed to catch the movie Up I’d often wish how many balloons I’d need to take a free world cruise.
Monsoon Magic!
OK, as you’d have already noticed, I haven’t been writing a lot here lately. But that doesn’t mean I’ve been lying low. The shutter bug in me has been very much active, and here is a small collection of the monsoons that I clicked over the last two years. It includes foods, monuments, and everyday…
Wheeling It Out
The fun fair is still around, close to my house. I love big giant wheels, in fact i even managed to get some great shots, (like my last sunset post) when it took to the highest point. Felt like a little kid again!
On A High Horse
What good is talking about the Kala Ghoda Festival without any horsing around? Well, this isn’t the symbolic painting after which the street is named, nor is it the Black Horse that stands for the iconic festival. This one seemed more like a the one straight out of a chess set, with a lot of…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple
In Mumbai Local trains, you can pull the chain to raise an alarm at the train stops at the next closest railway station. As simple as this seems, it most often than never doesn’t work. Initially people would pull it just out of curiosity to check if the system works, so how such meaningless acts are…
National Youth Day
The 12th of January, the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, is observed as National Youth Day in India. I studied in a college named after the noble thinker, and so the event calls for a large-scale celebration. The Vivekananda Rock Memorial situated at Kanyakumari, is where he meditated until his last breath is one of the most peaceful…
Happy Journeys!
Over a million of us commute by local trains everyday. It is the fastest mode of traveling in a crazy city like Mumbai and is rightfully considered as the city’s lifeline. While I don’t fancy the crowds so much, I have a lot of train mates, who make the tedious journey worthwhile. If you are…
Trust Comes Easy
This cute little creature was sunbathing at the beach, and yes he was alone (not uncommon in India). We became friends in a matter of seconds really. He wasn’t too comfortable posing, but yes I did manage a few good shots. And I am quite happy with the results. Who says trust doesn’t come easy?
